Kudos to everyone who helped make the 2nd Annual Glomerular Disease Symposium: An Update on Disease Mechanisms and Management, held September 6 – 7, 2024, a success. The event was organized and chaired by WashU Nephrology’s Tingting Li, MD, MSCI, with the support of the planning committee members Michelle Bloom, BSN, RN, Reena Gurung, MD, Nidia Messias, MD, and Morgan Schoer, MD, and Continuing Medical Education Coordinator Lindsay McHargue.
Approximately ninety attendees benefited from insightful talks from 25 guest and WashU faculty who are leading glomerular disease experts. They shared the latest advances in disease mechanisms and treatment of various glomerular diseases.
“It is a very exciting time to be in nephrology with so many new medications and advances being made for patients with glomerular diseases,” says Michelle Bloom, who not only helped plan the symposium but also thoroughly enjoyed the event. “The case discussions were my personal favorite, as well as hearing from leading experts from all over the world about their opinions on how we should move forward with these new treatments and what the future may hold.”
In 2023, Dr. Li established the Glomerular Center of Excellence (GCE) at WashU. Although she has led a dedicated glomerular disease clinic for nearly a decade, the GCE allows her to offer a more comprehensive and collaborative program to improve care to the ever-increasing number of patients in the St. Louis area and nearby states being referred with glomerular disease.
